PRESENTER (S): N/A
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
REVIEWED BY: Thomas C. Foley
BACKGROUND: Virginia Code § 15.2-2507 provides that any locality may amend its budget to adjust the aggregate amount to be appropriated during the fiscal year as shown in the currently adopted budget; provided, however, any such amendment which exceeds one percent of the total expenditures shown in the currently adopted budget must be accomplished by first publishing a notice of a meeting and holding a public hearing before amending the budget. The Code section applies to all County funds, i.e., General Fund, Capital Funds, E911, School Self-Sustaining, etc. The total increase to the FY 16 budget due to the appropriation itemized below is $304,982.00. A budget amendment public hearing is not required because the amount of the cumulative appropriations does not exceed one percent of the currently adopted budget.
STRATEGIC PLAN: Mission: To enhance the well-being and quality of life for all citizens through the provision of the highest level of public service consistent with the prudent use of public funds.
DISCUSSION: This request involves the approval of five (5) appropriations as follows:
• One (1) appropriation (#2016043) to appropriate $29,266.00 in federal grant funds to the Department of Social Services for a part-time Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) worker;
• One (1) appropriation (#2016050) to appropriate $33,452.00 to the Emergency Communications Center;
• One (1) appropriation (#2016051) to appropriate a total of $146,285.31 to reallocate and reconcile fund balances for planned transfers. This will not increase the total County budget.
• One (1) appropriation (#2016052) to appropriate $250,000.00 for the Acquisition Conservation Easement (ACE) program; and
• One (1) appropriation (#2016053) to appropriate $600.00 from the Reserve in the Fire Rescue Services Fund to the Crozet Volunteer Fire Department. This appropriation will not increase the total County budget.
